Have you ever wondered what our lives would be like if God had a different personality?
Think about how forgiving, accepting and loving God is. He always loves us where we are. He doesn't tolerate sin, but sends The Holy Spirit to try to turn us from it. There are very few times He abruptly ends a life the first time a person falls short of His plan.
What if God had an "A" type personality? I don't know about you, but my life would have ended long ago if God was staunch and unforgiving. I fall short daily, most of the time it's because I'm unintentionally careless, or tired. Countless times He has spared my life on the road, outside and sometimes even inside during bad asthma attacks, or stupid mistakes I make.
On the other hand what if God was extremely carefree and non attentive. Who would save us from the blunders? How long would any of us have live if our God was too busy to watch our every move?
I'm very thankful that He is all knowing, yet so loving and compassionate to accept and protect in spite of our personality flaws. God's compassion inspires me to be more accepting and forgiving of others. Lord, "please give all your children "Your eyes." We need to see and love others the way you do Father."
"For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others , then your heavenly Father will not forgive your transgressions." Matthew 6:14 & 15 (NIV)
